Be the emperor from the postman

Chapter 381 He Jinzhao's Territory (Fifth Change)

Ma Chengxi was very moved by Xu Dingchen's behavior of being a good civil servant, and gave him spiritual support in addition to all support.

After all, Xu Dingchen had to take the initiative to go out to the grassland to talk to Lin Danhan. If it happened, it would be beneficial to Datong Town.

Xiong Tingbi and Yuan Chonghuan were the last people who heard about this kind of work.

A few days ago, Ma Chengxi, the commander-in-chief of Datong, led the generals of Datong Town, and saw the head of Dudu Yuan together.

I have to say that the artisans of the capital are really good at pickling heads, much better than those of them.

The brothers can still clearly see that Yuan Dushi's voice and smile in the past are vivid.

Now the person in charge of handing down the head should have walked to the city wall of Shanxi Town, but I don't know if they can cross Shanxi Town to Yansui Town.

After all, that section of the Great Wall was occupied by the Hammer Bandit He Jinzhao, so the road was blocked.

If Dushi Yuan's head is intercepted by the hammer bandits, it will be a lot of fun.

Ma Chengxi felt that he had less contact with people like Xu Dingchen, so as not to be liquidated in the future and put himself in it.

Xiong and Yuan are no better than Xu Dingchen, but they still ended up like that, maybe they will be accused of collaborating with the enemy.

In Daming, if you want to be an official who does practical things, there is no good end.

Not everyone can become an emperor's teacher like Sun Chengzong, who is deeply trusted by the emperor, but he is also one of the leaders of the Donglin Party and will step down soon.

But for the gold in Fanzhi County, Ma Chengxi called his younger brother over, saying that he was going to support Shanxi Town to investigate the situation of the hammer bandits, and the point was to go to Fanzhi County to rob the gold and come back.

The Ming Dynasty is rich in culture and military, and Ma Chengxi, the commander-in-chief, is really not enough in front of Xu Dingchen.

Then General Ma called the general Jiang Xiang and asked him to take the light cavalry to Taiyuan to publicize the news that I am going to march in Datong.

Regardless of Jiang Xiang's young age, his family is willing to spend money on management, and his promotion in the army is very fast, but it is not easy to fool.

Hammer Bandit He Jinzhao's reputation in Taiyuan has already spread to Datong Town.

Now that the official army who sent himself to Taiyuan to promote Datong Town is going to attack, wouldn't it be a wolf.

Especially since he was guarding Shuozhou, the Great Wall bordered on the territory controlled by He Jinchao, so he must be the first one to be beaten.

"Boss, there are tigers and rabbits raging in Datong Town, and we want to provoke hammer bandits. Is it a wise man?"

"I just asked you to bluff, not really to beat him." Ma Chengxi said righteously:
"If Taiyuan falls, we will have nothing to do. The court will blame us in the future. You can do this matter and spread it as you like."

Facing the military order, Datong General Jiang Xiang had no choice but to go out.

But he didn't think so in his heart, the old man Ma Chengxi must have other ideas and asked himself to go out as a bait.

He Jinzhao is very busy.

Because of the sudden expansion of the territory, the mayor is not enough, and the propaganda group is not enough.

For this reason, he specifically removed Lehu, a prostitute in Taiyuan City, from his nationality immediately and trained them.

At the same time, let the peasant association publicize the policy of joining the hammer bandit, form a peasant association in the village, and even if you are farming under the hammer bandit rule, you will not collect excessive taxes and other benefits.

The government of Taiyuan controls the mountains and rivers, stands on the shoulders of the world, is the root of Hedong, and it is a place that must be contested in ancient and modern times!

Shanxi has a pivotal position in the entire northern region.

The main body of Shanxi's terrain is composed of mountains on the east and west sides and a series of bead-shaped basins in the middle.

The Taihang Mountains in the east form the western barrier of Hebei, and the Changliang Mountains and Zhongtiao Mountains in the west together with the Yellow River form the eastern barrier of Guanzhong.

The situation of mountains and rivers gives Shanxi an extremely favorable position for fighting inside.

Shanxi's terrain is high enough to overlook three sides; the few traffic tunnels leading to the outside are mostly good for going out but not good for attacking.

This is a favorable condition for Shanxi's internal operations, and it is also the geographical basis for the formation of Shanxi's position as a hub in the north.

The battle between the Xiongnu and Liu Han to destroy the Western Jin Dynasty, the century-old history of the rise and fall of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and the frequent rise and fall of the Five Dynasties regimes can all reflect the pivotal position of Shanxi in the north.

Taiyuan prefecture leads six states and 22 counties.

Pingding Prefecture, Yizhou, Daizhou, Kelan Prefecture, Yongning Prefecture, and Baode Prefecture.

Thirteen counties are directly under the government's jurisdiction: Yangqu, Yuci, Taigu, Qixian, Xugou, Qingyuan, Jiaocheng, Wenshui, Shouyang, Taiyuan, Yuxian, Jingle, and Hequ.

Among the six prefectures, there are five counties and prefectures: Pingding Prefecture leads Leping, Xinzhou leads Dingxiang, Daizhou leads Wutai, Fanzhi, and Nao counties, Kelan Prefecture leads Lan County, Xing County, Yongning Prefecture leads Ningxiang, Lin County, Baode Prefecture does not govern counties.

The Wanli Dynasty adjusted the local construction, delimited the Fenzhou and Yongning Prefectures that belonged to the Taiyuan Prefecture, and newly built the Fenzhou Prefecture.

The number of prefectures under the jurisdiction of Taiyuan Prefecture is five, and the number of counties under its jurisdiction is reduced to twenty, of which the number of counties under the jurisdiction of the prefecture is still thirteen, and the number of counties under the jurisdiction of the prefecture is reduced to seven.

Daizhou relied on Yanmen Pass, the head of the nine fortresses, to block the forces of the hammer bandits, and the Ming army preserved the three counties.

Baode Prefecture preserved Shenchi County by virtue of Ningwu Pass.

Pingding prefecture relies on Shouyang to save two counties.

There are [-] counties in the five prefectures of Taiyuan Prefecture, and He Jinchao occupies [-] counties.

It also occupies Pingyao County and Putong Pass in Fenzhou.

Pingyang Prefecture occupies Jiayindiguan in Fenxi and Lingshi counties.

He Jinzhao's power has expanded to seventeen counties.

At the same time, "crucify" the powerful officials and troops in Shanxi, so that they dare not act rashly.

He Jinchao's power has shrunk from a small area in the northwest of Shanxi to a direct expansion across the entire Taiyuan Prefecture, from south to north, and from west to east.

It really wasn't that He Jinzhao didn't want to take it one step at a time, it was just that the Ming army and the local government were too strong.

Local military households, tenants, and bankrupt farmers in Shanxi joined the Hammer Bandits one after another, or they revolted themselves and asked He Jinzhao, the boss, to take care of them.

The life of the people in Shanxi and Shanxi is not easy. After He Jinzhao became famous throughout the Jin Dynasty, he really played a catalytic role in the peasant uprising army.

Anyone can see that the Shanxi government army has no spare power to suppress the bandits in a short period of time. If we don't take the opportunity to join the hammer bandits at this time, when will we wait?
For this reason, He Jinzhao had to recruit Li Dingguo and other people from the youth camp to work, let them learn to handle village and town government affairs, and figure out this set of procedures.

These people have been trained by He Jinzhao for more than a year, no matter whether they can do it or not, let's talk about it first.

As for the children trained in schools in Hequ and other places before, they are still young, or their progress is slow, so they can only continue to study, and then they can enter the crash course in the martial arts hall.

The officials and gentlemen in the county towns of the seventeen counties don't need to worry about it, but the people in the vast rural areas must be organized.

It is imperative that the road to encircle the cities from the countryside is firmly established.

He Jinzhao discovered to his horror that he didn't have many available people.

It is easy to lay down a place, but it is really not easy to govern a place.

For this reason, a group of wounded and unable to fight soldiers had to be transferred from the army to implement military control and train them to be mayors and deputy mayors, or to take over local defense and bring the system of the army to the local area.

Officials who surrendered in Taiyuan City, big and small, who wanted to continue to be officials, all went to the countryside to run.

Study with the transferred mayor for at least three months, and only if he passes the qualifications will he be hired, and if he fails, he will be sent back.

Qiu Zhitao was urgently transferred here, and through his recommendation, he temporarily promoted a few colleagues from Ming Dynasty who were hardworking but would never be promoted.

These people are as motivated as Qiu Zhitao.

He Jinzhao held a small flag and planted a map of Pingyuan Mansion. Even with the help of someone, it would be a real headache.

"Master." Ji Gui took out a military newspaper:
"There is news that Datong is going to send troops to Taiyuan, and Jiang Xiang has been dispatched as the vanguard to enter the jurisdiction of our Taiyuan Prefecture."
